ITEM NO. 4
PUBLIC QUESTIONS AT COUNCIL
15TH NOVEMBER, 2006
QUESTION FROM MR. F. WATSON
I am very concerned about road and pavement works being carried out by various
utilities across the city, which are so very obviously not being restored to the
condition in which they were found. It appears apparent to me and many others that
they are not being supervised or inspected and the city is left with the aftermath and
expense.
My question is why is something not being done to make the ‘Diggers’ pay their fair
share. Has anyone ever been taken to court for not keeping to the contract? If not
why not. If they dug up my path and didn’t back fill it to a satisfactory standard I
would employ a private contractor and go to a small claims court. Why can’t the
Council?
Would love to question the person responsible for making decisions and hopefully
answer many other questions I have.
